Moville Community College 0-3 Coláiste Bhaile Chláir
Shauna Brennan (6),
Alisha Bohan (49),
Ellie Creane (68)
It was bitter sweet revenge for Coláiste Bhaile
Chláir in Ray MacSharry Park in Sligo on Tuesday afternoon as they overcame
rivals Moville Community College with a hat-trick of goals to advance in this
tie.
The Donegal contingency had captured top spot last
season defeating the Claregalway select 2-1 to lift the prestigious title in
2018 but it wasn’t to be as the Galway girls delivered a stunning performance
to crush their two in-a-row title ambitions.
It was a dream start for Shauna Brennan as the
youngster produced a moment of magic six minutes in to slot past the diving
Fiona McLaughlin. However Brennan was to pick up a nasty ankle injury minutes
later which saw her replaced by Kiara Keanney.
Moville found it hard to get going in this clash and
it was a lack lustre performance from the usually impressive team.
The Connacht stars however were enjoying much of the
possession which saw their lead doubled on 49 minutes when Alisha Bohan struck
gold with a remarkable strike to leave McLaughlin with no chance.
Kerry Brown and Megan Havlin were trying to produce
moments of magic but the final ball was lacking, adding to the duo’s
frustrations.
While two minutes from time, Ellie Creane’s daring
lob from distance found the back of the net to ensure her team’s progression in
this contest.
